Me:
Acire.  You are being too hard on yourself.  Obviously, you have a
nice way of saying everything so well that all ties together into nice
little bows.  We can't refute you...or at least that is what I tell
myself when I manage to kill threads.  :)

Now on to the task at hand...

Me:
If Florence is approximately the same age as Snape, it is possible
that she could be Mrs. Longbottum and had Neville.  It is Snape's age
group that has children that are Harry's age.  So we can deduce that
Mrs. Longbottum is *at least* close to Snape's age...assuming she did
not become pregnant at Hogwarts. ;)

She, of course, could be older.  Frank Longbottum is well respected in
the auror world and well liked.  As established in the community as
they were, I wonder if they are not at least ten years older than
Snape.  While it is possible that they established such a reputation
quickly, I doubt it is plausible.

So either Mr. and Mrs. Longbottum are little social climbers or they
had Neville kind of late in life.

So I guess that doesn't answer the question of whether Mrs. Longbottum
is Florence.  It is possible...

I know they made his look rather feminine and likable.  The nerve.
